[quote=Anonymous]Team DD, all day long. My daughter had anxiety. Yes, a parent needs to address it and help their kid, but not by pressing her to do a scary activity. There's a ton more that goes into helping a kid with anxiety than confronting the kid with a scary situation and saying "get over yourself, just do it." Especially on vacation, when stakes are high. The sunk costs! But we're on vacation! Etc. That is NOT a good time to work on anxiety issues. I recommend the book "The Anxiety Cure for Kids: A Guide for Parents" - Caroline M. DuPont, Elizabeth DuPont Spencer, and Robert DuPont -- totally unlocked the anxiety issue for me and really helped me help my kid. My daughter is now an adult and living a full and adventurous life -- but she still relies on the skills she learned through our time working through that book.[/quote]
